I have been a member of T-Mobile for a while now, and I was on a month to month no contract plan. Yet when I wanted to stop paying for my services, I was continually being charged as if I was on a contract, which I wasn't. Late fees and monthly fees since July have accumulated till now. And have been sent to a Debt Collection Agency on October 22nd I believe. I want this removed, and fixed immediately. I will pay some amount if that is needed? I want to restart my T-Mobile services, yet I can't because of this "debt collection". I have seen other threads talking about this same sort of issue. I want this resolved as quickly as possible.

In regards to a issue like this your best option would be to call T-mobile directly and speak with a care agent. This forum is mainly away for customers to get information from their peers and is moderated by some staff who although helpful usually lack the equipment needed to help on issues like you have. Hope things work out for you and if you need any more info I'll do my best to assist.

I was a AT&T customer for 10+ years. I switched over to T-Mobile back in March 2017. The reason for a switch, I was trying to save money. A friend of mine, recommended to switch over to T-mobile I went into the T-mobile store, talked to a sales representative, they reassured me that they would pay off my remaining balance of my iPhones. Everything was super easy. THEN.... I got a letter in July 2017 from ATT&T saying I owed them $1369. I contacted T-mobile rep by phone & Tmobile rep said it was too late for them to pay off my ATT&T account. I then called the sales rep that help me set up my T-mobile account & he said he would take care of it. I sent him my AT&T full bill. Then in December 2017 my credit was hit with a collection with Diversified Collections. I contacted the collection agency, they said ATT&T never got paid & collection account cannot be removed, it can only be paid. WHICH WILL SHOW UP AT A PAID COLLECTION ON MY CREDIT FOR 7 YEARS!! This is completely frustrating since I have been trying to work with Tmobile to get this fixed. On my mobile account it shows that 3/28/2017 it was processing a refund . I never got a credit card from Tmobile to pay off ATT. Nothing. Now my credit is ruined. If I had known that Tmobile would handle their business this way, I would have stayed loyal to ATT&T. Today I finally got a rep from t-mobile to help me & is sending me a virtual credit card in 72 hours. After I pay the collection agency, I will close my T-mobile account. I will tell everyone to stay clear from T-mobile. I am so frustrated that this has happen. My credit is ruined!

It happens with every company not just cellphone companies. I'm honestly sorry you got so royally screwed over but I don't know if leaving T-mobile is worth it if the service is good. I mean it would make everything you went through in vain and cause more headaches should you owe on any devices. However, its totally your call just my thoughts/advice towards the issues ahead.

I am so sorry you have had to go through all of this. Our carrier freedom reimbursement program is meant to be easy and it sounds like the ball was definitely dropped here. The carrier freedom reimbursement program is meant to be just that, a reimbursement, and while we try to get your promotion approved as fast as possible, you may have to pay your final bill with your previous carrier out of pocket and wait for the reimbursement as the program does not automatically pay your final bill. I know this is all in hindsight but I am very glad to hear that our care teams were able to get this sorted with the virtual reimbursement card. We would be very sad to lose your business because of this I hope that you are still able to find some value in the service we offer and choose to stay.
